Extended clothing sizes

HERE’S AN INSIDE TIP: If you can’t
find clothing in your size at the warehouse, be sure to check on Costco.com. In
addition to the sizes found in the warehouse, Costco.com offers men’s Big &
Tall, women’s plus sizes and maternity.

“We decided to make extended sizes
available online a few years ago,” says
Kim Mitsch, Costco.com apparel buyer.
“We’ve had a lot of success with it.”

In women’s apparel, you’ll find XS,
;X and ;X in sleepwear, shirts, leggings,
and outerwear, and up to ;;W in Gloria
Vanderbilt denim. In men’s clothing,
you’ll find select shirts sized up to ;XL,
pants up to a ;;-inch inseam and up to a
;;-inch waist, and XL socks for men’s
shoe size ;;.

“Just like in the warehouse, we strive
to create a treasure hunt environment
with new items arriving each week, so be
sure to check back often and buy it when
you see it, because items do sell out,”
Mitsch says.

“Maternity clothes can be expensive,
so Costco.com provides an incredible
value for essential pieces,” Mitsch says.
“We will be adding some additional fashion pieces in the spring, so be sure to
check back for those items.” —CG

There’s even a tailgating category,
with everything from shelters emblazoned
with your favorite professional or college
team’s logo (these are only available seasonally) to rolling coolers, chairs, tables,
cookers, food, portable power, sound systems and more.

Thanks to delivery, getting the bigger
items to your home is easy.— TFJ
